An ordinary person would have backed off upon seeing Chu Sheng's lukewarm attitude.
But was Ning Rongrong an ordinary person?
If Chu Sheng had been greedy or lustful, she would have played a prank on him and taught him a lesson!
But Chu Sheng remained unmoved...
"You're not taking this young lady seriously at all!"
Ning Rongrong was not angry over it, just a little unwilling to accept defeat!
Her failed prank, his indifference to a beauty like her... those were all reasons she could not let it go.
How dare he not like me!
She could dislike him, but what right did he have to dislike her?
"Do... do you have a girlfriend?"
Ning Rongrong walked up beside Chu Sheng, her face slightly flushed, and asked timidly.
She looked like an immaculate white lotus!
She had a reason for asking. As long as he said he had no girlfriend, she could move on to the next step and give him a little hope!
Then... there would be no then!
That was the fun of playing pranks!
As for becoming his girlfriend, Ning Rongrong was not stupid enough to put herself on the line.
They had only met once, after all.
Fun was fun, and games were games, but this was not something to joke about.
"Yes!"
Chu Sheng nodded as he replied.
Ning Rongrong: "???"
Was this how the script was supposed to go?
Ning Rongrong blinked, her eyes filled with bewilderment.
Wasn't this guy a little too honest?
Couldn't he tell a lie and fool me a little?
That would give her a reason to keep playing her prank!
"Then... then would you mind having another?"
The moment Ning Rongrong said that, she regretted it.
Was she being a little too shameless just for the sake of a prank?
Chu Sheng: "..."
Good grief, this Little Demoness still hasn't given up?
Chu Sheng stopped, turned sideways, and lowered his head to look at Ning Rongrong.
He placed a finger against Ning Rongrong's forehead and poked it.
"Ow~"
Being so "fragile," Ning Rongrong hastily clutched her head and glared fiercely at Chu Sheng.
She was still acting~ she still had her own rhythm!
"I wouldn't mind, but would you dare to be my girlfriend?"
Chu Sheng bent slightly at the waist, looked Ning Rongrong straight in the eyes, and asked with a smile.
He wanted to see how long Ning Rongrong could endure before she exploded.
"Gulp~"
Ning Rongrong swallowed, at a loss for what to do.
She instinctively retreated two steps, no longer feeling confident.
I've taken this too far...
If he didn't have a girlfriend, I might... no, I wouldn't!
If he had no girlfriend, she would never have reached this point.
Her prank had failed, and he had her wrapped around his finger instead!
Seeing this, Chu Sheng shook his head and continued browsing the streets, paying Ning Rongrong no further attention.
Ning Rongrong was simply too fragile!
One careless move from him could put her life in danger!
That had already been tested in practice...
Watching Chu Sheng's retreating figure, Ning Rongrong stamped her foot and gritted her teeth before finally following him.
This time, she merely followed in silence, without stirring up any more trouble.
As evening approached, the two finally arrived at the best hotel in Suotuo City, the Rose Hotel.
"We're not a couple. Two rooms."
Afraid the receptionist might misunderstand, Chu Sheng explained.
Hearing this, the receptionist looked at Chu Sheng in considerable surprise.
They were staying at a couples' hotel, yet they were not a couple?
"Of course. I'll register you both right away."
Since Chu Sheng had made himself clear, the receptionist did not bother with anything unnecessary.
Registration and check-in both went smoothly.
Ning Rongrong lay on a bed strewn with flower petals, her restless hands pounding the mattress.
"Infuriating! Absolutely infuriating!"
"This is the first time I've ever been left in such a sorry state!"
As for it being a couples' hotel, Ning Rongrong paid that no mind.
They had found it by asking for directions, and it really was the best hotel in Suotuo City...
"Damn it... I still don't even know his name!"
She had wanted to curse him a little, only to realize that she did not even know his name!
"Ah..."
"You rotten bastard! I won't forget you!"
Ning Rongrong shouted and screamed, Ning Rongrong threw a tantrum and rolled around, Ning Rongrong flew into a towering rage...
In the room next door.
Ding... Ning Rongrong's affection is rising!
Chu Sheng: "..."
Is she sick in the head??
Ning Rongrong was indeed "sick," suffering from an extremely severe case of princess syndrome.
But she had the strength and backing to indulge it, making her more of a princess than an actual princess.
Unfortunately, not long after she arrived at Shrek Academy, that condition was "trained" out of her.
Night fell, and passed without incident.
Bang~
Thud~
"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Entanglement!"
Chu Sheng's eyes snapped open, and he rubbed his head.
The commotion downstairs was loud enough to hear through an entire floor.
Even with the hotel's excellent soundproofing...
Chu Sheng got dressed, opened his door, and headed toward the stairwell.
After only a few steps, he spotted Ning Rongrong standing at the top of the stairs, watching the fight in the lobby.
As though sensing something, Ning Rongrong turned to look...
Wasn't... wasn't this the male lead I'd given such a miserable thrashing in my dream last night?
"Look! A showdown between top Soul Masters of the younger generation!"
As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she still had that much discernment.
Teenage Soul Grandmasters and Soul Elders deserved to be called geniuses anywhere on the Douluo Continent!
"What's so interesting about it?"
Chu Sheng yawned and stretched, utterly unconcerned.
"All I see is them disturbing the peace!"
Upon hearing this,
Ning Rongrong's eye twitched, leaving her rather speechless.
Nothing interesting about it?
If they judged purely by strength, there was indeed nothing interesting to see.
But these two were so young and already possessed such strength. Was that not worth paying attention to?
"Hmph, what shameless boasting!"
Ning Rongrong pursed her lips, pointed at Dai Mubai, and continued.
"You look a little older than that blond guy. Your Soul Power Level probably isn't as high as his, right?"
Silence. Deathly silence.
What the hell did she mean, my Soul Power Level isn't as high as Dai Mubai's...
Just how pathetic was he in Ning Rongrong's eyes?
With his current "look," did he seem weak?
Crimson hair, red eyes, and an aura of menace-if he did not look like a top expert, he should at least have ranked above average!
When Chu Sheng said nothing, Ning Rongrong narrowed her eyes slightly, the corners of her lips curling upward.
Had I hit the mark?
"Haha, at your ripe old age, don't tell me you're still just a Soul Grandmaster?"
Ning Rongrong clutched her stomach with both hands and bent slightly forward, laughing until she shook like a flowering branch in the breeze.
Chu Sheng remained silent, finding her merely noisy.
What did she mean, at my ripe old age?
They were only five or six years apart. Was the generation gap really that wide?
As expected of the Little Demoness, her tongue seemed to have been dipped in honey.
Go ahead, laugh! Laugh!
She laughed at him for looking like a Soul Grandmaster!
He laughed at her because she would never break through her shackles and surpass his current title in her lifetime!
If he did not help Ning Rongrong, Soul Saint was the highest she would ever reach.
"Sure, sure, you're absolutely right..."
Chu Sheng nodded dismissively.
Ning Rongrong froze, then anger welled up inside her as she caught on.
Damn him, brushing me off like that!
"You rotten bastard! Take this!"
At that moment, driven by anger, Ning Rongrong forgot how fragile she was.
Clenching her delicate fist, she punched toward Chu Sheng's abdomen.
There was little distance between them, only ten centimeters or so. They were on the stairs, after all.
As a result, Ning Rongrong could not put any force into her punch unless she knew how to deliver "one-inch power."
She knew no such technique!
She threw punch after punch, alternating left and right...
In Ning Rongrong's eyes, she was teaching Chu Sheng a lesson.
To anyone else, it was nothing more than a couple playfully bickering!
